    14 gal. Bio Cube

    IPisces, I am not sure if we will make the frag swap. My work schedule has been unpredictable at best! We can try to head down to your neck of the woods possibly tomorrow, (Saturday) if that is convenient for you. Where is Hanville located? I am familiar with areas between Burlington to Boeing...

    14 gal. Bio Cube

    Peppie and any others willing, It has been a long time since starting this project, and a setback or two, but the tank is up and cycled and if any little corals are still up for donation, we would be able to come pick them up this weekend. I will try to check back here, or anyone willing could...

    A decent nano skimmer

    Hey all, I have a 14 gal. bio cube that my daughter and I set up. For a skimmer, we currently have an Oceanic nano skimmer and I have tried everything to get some nice, dry dark green nasty skimmate. This seems to be beyond this skimmers capabilities! So, what do y'all have in your nano tanks...

    Tweekers and PUNKS GRRR!!

    The most disgusting, but honest thing about this whole situation is that by the time this thread was created, the "yahoo" was home having a cold one, or doin' a line of crank with his buddies. Unless you murder someone, the jail is just a revolving door and the courts and jails are so...

    300 gallon TRUVU CUSTOM

    Very impressive setup! If the Euro Reef is just a temp setup, you could have gotten a better deal with an ASM. Same needlewheel pump, same design, just different acrylic. Since a skimmer isn't under any pressure, lower strength material works fine. I used the ASM on my 340 gallon for years...

    14 gal. Bio Cube

    Hi all, I have kept reef tanks for about 25 years, our big tank is currently torn down till we are sure we are not moving for a long time! My 7 year old daughter loved our tank, and last year, won her school's science fair with her project on bacteria. well, she decided to roll that project...

    Nu-B from Camano

    You say you like clams and such, they are cool, but before you get one, wait for your tank to mature for quite a while. One thing that is as sure as death and taxes is that in the reef world, nothing good happens quickly. Clams require very stable water quality and for that, it takes time. Other...

    Reefkoi Live Sale just for the PSAS club???

    I have got reefkoi's critters before, when I lived in Denver. Top notch stuff at better prices than any LFS around here! Plus, a great person to deal with! In Denver I was bmb527.

    All About Liverock

    Mainly the shapes and density of the rock. Less dense is lighter and therefore you need less of it. But it is usually more expensive.

    What happen's if you add fish, snails ect. before the beginning cycles are done ?

    I suggest you get them into therapy before it's too late and they kill you in your sleep! Don't risk it!!

    All About Liverock

    One more item to touch on is the density of the different types of live rock. Some is very dense and heavy, such as the Florida, Hatian, and most Fiji. Others are very light and porous, such as Bali, Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and some others. Going by the standby of 1.5 to 2 lbs/gal of LR that...

    Acrylic Repair in or near the North Puget Sound area

    No photos, I know HOW to fix it. But since moving to WA, I tore up my knees and live without my shop, so my ability to make sure things are level and square is nil. Plus, the knees just don't allow me to be up and working like I need to for long. I figure I would see if anyone local is up for...

    Acrylic Repair in or near the North Puget Sound area

    Hey all, I need to find a dependable plastic shop in or near Everett or Seattle. I live on Camano Island and have a rather large tank with a crack in the overflow extending into the Euro- brace. If anyone knows of a quality shop, LMK. I am trying to get my system set up, but need to get the...

    Was just in a car accident

    I just finished going through a mess like this. Someone who had no insurance rear ended my car. I find out the guy is out of work and "can't afford" insurance. When I took his butt to court the judge said he has NO RIGHT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE STATE MANDATED LIABILITY INSURANCE. Then...

    What all in one nano tank should I go with??

    About 2 years ago I purchased a JBJ Nanocube direct from JBJ. What a nightmare! The lid was broken, that took 4 or 5 calls to finally get taken care of. The skimmer I ordered didn't show up with the tank, I was told it was on back order and would ship about 3 weeks out,(they gave me a date, I...

    The equipment for sale forum

    Why is it that I cannot post a reply to buy anything in the sale forums? I understand the 50 post 90 day thing for SELLING things, but buying things as well? That is rediculous! Bill

    LOCAL FISH STORES where they are & why we like them

    Be very careful @ Reefmystique. Some corals are not what they seem at his shop. Prices are ok. I live 5 minutes from the shop and I drive to Blue Sierra and Barrier Reef, along with Red Sea.

    PFO vs. Orbitec lawsuit is over

    It is too bad that PFO is gone, and the method seems cruel and heartless, but, honestly it is all just part of being in business. I own PFO Ballasts, and I have for years. I won't pass judgment on Orbitec on the basis of how they won this battle. I will judge them on their products they produce...
